@AAKL@BBC I feel really validated by this article. I resent the ubiquity of self-check; I didn't mind when it was like two little self-check kiosks and the rest of the lanes were fully staffed—if you only need to purchase one or two things, self-check is fine—but as soon as our local grocers stopped staffing normal check-out and started pushing every shopper to self-check, well, I emerged from my chrysalis a beautiful curmudgeon.
I can’t sample them because it’s Lent, but they look and smell pretty good. @jdekg took care of the leftover icing and reports it’s tasty. (I substituted milk for most of the vodka—these are for a work event and I’m only so bold.)
This was taken Sunday near Burien, but I’m sharing it for #meermittwoch / #SeaWednesday. Honestly kind of wish I was still there, staring at the water. It was a nice outing. #PNW
Every new YouTube video I try has clearly had its script written or rewritten by ChatGPT and nobody in the comments ever seems annoyed by this. The future sucks so much
I am having a bad time. I am ruining my own weekend listening to this! I mean, it’s excellent—it’s Robert Evans + #TheDollop guys—and I’m learning a lot and I hate it.
@onelson right now “sugar-free chocolates and nonalcoholic sparkling ‘wine’” is looking likely unless @jdekg has a better idea when he gets up from his nap
Huh. Apparently, putting off a chore or collection of related chores for months or years doesn’t actually make them easier? Seems like it might make them worse somehow? Why did no one warn me about this
It's the #NewMoon but it's also an eclipse, so instead of a simple little past-present-future #tarot thing, I used a special "As Above" spread "intended to offer guidance and insight into the energies at play during the upcoming Aries eclipse."
@jdekg and I got this spread at an #Ostara lesson & ritual we attended at the occult shop. The very nice witches gave it to us.
Anyway, the cards have a clear message for me tonight.
